Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

Agent Workspace Linux

An isolated, hidden Linux desktop that an AI agent fully controls — over MCP — without ever touching your real mouse, keyboard, focus, or browser.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit c3ba9482e138.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    npm/scripts/postinstall.js, line 77 fs.rmSync(stagingDir, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    npm/scripts/postinstall.js, line 178 const req = https.get(

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    src/profile.rs, line 1700 .env

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    src/server.rs, line 1 use crate::agent::{AgentModeSummary, AgentTargetHandles};

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
